This is where I start to really think about where the Flames are headed, and why Feaster should have made it clear which direction the team is going a long time ago.

Getting a #1 center would be great, provided it's a young guy who will grow with the team. I'm very attached to our 1st round picks though, because bringing in a #1 C (I'll use a guy like Berglund for example) does not automatically guarantee us a playoff spot, and honestly a guaranteed playoff spot is the only way I'd willingly give up our 1st.

It's a bit of a catch 22. Is x number of years of Berglund/whoever worth giving up one 1st round pick? I'm not sure... it could potentially speed up the re-tool. Or it could set us back. I seriously do not envy Feaster.

As for the post above mine (InfinityIggy), depending on the player that is being brought in, I think I would part with 1st, Backlund, Glencross/Butler. But it does depend on who it is.

Throw anything outside of Sven, and next year's first at a team for a legit first c.
Berglund would work wonders in Calgary... Maybe trade and extension on getz? Would cost an arm and a leg for getz though.

People need to realize if we actually use Stajan we become an ok faceoff team last year our 4 top center man took 2,909 faceoffs and won 1359 for a faceoff% of 47%, Now using Stajan and letting him take Jokinen's 1333 faceoffs as well as using Cammy, Backlund, Jones as center man we would win 1395 for a faceoff% of 48%. The main problem with last year was Horak and allowing Jokinen to take twice as much as Stajan we could actually improve our faceoff numbers by simply using our best faceoff player.

I'd consider a trade involving Sven to the Flyers for Schenn or Couturier. Would prefer to send other pieces instead though.

When are you going to realize it's not just about winning faceoffs! It's about acquiring a legit top-2 center who can put up points, is tough to play against, and can keep up with Iggy/Cammy.

If being a center was just about winning faceoffs, guys like Steckel and Konopka would be among the highest paid players in the game. Stajan is perfectly capable of winning his >50% faceoffs playing on the 4th line.

This is the list of people we should be looking at if we really want a No.1/2 center. Some of these guys might have inflated numbers from badass wingers or icetime they shouldnt be getting sure, but from the numbers I've seen, this is the list of BONAFIDE NO.1/2 CENTERS.

Doubt it Stajan had 1.4 points per 60 minutes ES played playing with Tko and Jackman meanwhile Cullen had 1.5 points per 60 minutes ES played playing with MarcBouchard and Clutterbuck but yea he is much better

Please note the LACK of Matt "18 Points" Stajan.

P. Bergeron or D. Krejci would be our best targets because Seguin is a #2/#1 defensemen.
